With something that big, I will often: - Move that function to its own new .rkt file. - Move the inner functions out to the module level, too (as "siblings" not "kids"). - Provide only the main one, e.g. `(provide process-elements)`.
As a bonus, now it's easier to exercise the helper functions in the REPL. Of course, people have different feelings about more/smaller files vs. fewer/bigger ones, so you may not love this idea depending where you fall on that spectrum. (I still do often define local helper functions, but generally for very short 1- or 2-liner DRY things.) ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
